While I was looking up at some woodpeckers in a tree, this curious guy was sneaking up on me.
When I looked over my shoulder he was about 25 feet behind me and I pointed the camera behind me and snapped this.
He was in the dense shade of a hedge tree.
His antlers are just starting to grow out and they are covered in velvet.

After I photographed the deer, I found this ground hog watching me.
We have had the ground hogs come up onto the deck and look into the back door before.
Last year, a deer came up onto the deck and ate the flowers that were growing in pots.
